For me (Howard) , it's pretty simple:
I walk into a new gym and suddenly , it sucks to workout there. :o
-
Lol, like we don't know you're talking about yourself when referring to yourself.
-
When I'm in the gym and open my iPad between sets and see another inane Howard thread.
-

Yeah, it sucks when I do that huh?

Hope this helps...NOT ;)

I was in the squat rack with an uncollared 405 on bar (I was in a new gym in a new city, i knew no one). I was midset when I took my hands off the bar and placed them on my hips, as I was coming up the weight fell off my shoulders bounced off the rack and flipped into the empty cage next to me. It was loud!
People wandered over to see what happened and if I was ok..... I tried to play it off but it was pretty embarrassing.

Good one !
I was doing V bar pull-downs , the V handle came loose and I yanked it straight into my nose.
I actually gave myself a bloody nose and damn near knocked myself out.
The gym was packed and a bunch of people saw me and cracked up.
As usual, it sucks to be me.
-
Only one?.....lol
Me and two friends benching....I'm spotting. My turn. I grab the bar and slide onto the bench from the spotter spot...and the whole fucking thing tips backwards. Thankfully only 135 on the bar.
Benching on home gym. Get stuck....bar drops...into my mouth....somehow force it down to my chest and yell........MOM runs down and dumps weight off to side.
Chinups at gym from bar that was hanging by chain....one breaks, I drop to floor standing and the bar swings down and slams me in the side of the head.
In school, my friend was my spotter and a sweaty bastard, so he always tried to drop sweat drops in my eyes when he was spotting me on bench. When it was successful I'd be pinned under the weight.

This happened to me about two weeks ago...
We have an awesome hyper extension at the gym.
I’ve used it dozens of times. Hits my lower back perfect.
Well, this one morning I wasn’t paying attention as I was positioning myself. So I get in it, and put my feet between the foot/ankle pads. Or at least that’s what I thought I did.
In reality, I put my feet on the top set of pads. My hands on still on the bars holding me up. Everything felt the same as usual, and it didn’t register that I didn’t feel the pads against my ankles.
So, when I let go of my hands, flexing my back and expecting to go up... instead (because my feet weren’t locked in) I pretty much flip over the front of the machine. And damn, I would never have imagined I could have picked up so much speed in so little distance. Gravity is a bitch!
I landed on my left forearm/elbow. Had I landed on my head I could have seriously caused some damage. As is, tore up my forearm a little. What made it worse…
This is the only part of the gym that doesn’t have padding. I landed on concrete. And not even smooth concrete. This has ripples in it, so it tore into my shirt a bit. Fortunately I was wearing a sweatshirt, so no blood. Otherwise, would not have been a pretty site.
I immediately just started laughing at myself and then looked around to see if anyone witnessed my forward extension. Nobody in site (one of the advantages of going to the gym at 5:00 am).
Had someone been videoing me, I would have made it onto pretty much every Gym Fail video from this day froward.
-
This was pretty bad but not entirely my fault.
I had the leg press loaded with over 10 plates each side. I took them all off one side first and the leg press tipped over. The sound that made...
Those machines are supposed to be bolted down, had someone been standing next to it, that would have been the last of him.
-
Leg press. At the bottom I let out a rip. I get the weight up and turn my head. Everyone heard. Then the smell. Solid 20' radius.
-
I went to the gym and was talking junk about being able to bench 575, but I got cocky and benched 570 for 12 reps and didn't have anything left to bench 575 even once. Boy, was my face red.
-
Last week I was looking for an ez curl bar but someone was using it. I found this crazy ez curl bar in the back of the gym. I loaded it up and promptly smacked my self in the forehead with the bend in the bar. I saw stars.

Why would you take all the plates off one side even if it was bolted to the ground? That is inconceivable to me. I have much too much of a distrusting nature to assume something won't break. Are you an edge player by nature?

That mean take crazy risks? Not really and not in the gym.
Besides that one time, lol...
But I also thought the weight of the machine itself would keep it in place.
-
One time when I was really young (under 18) and benching alone (another mistake!!!) I had to ROLL 235lb down my chest, over my legs until I could get up!!!
I had bruises & scrapes all the way down pretty much!!!
-
There are usually no women in my gym. Once, this hot piece of ass showed up out of nowhere, so I kept chatting her up, but wasn't getting the vibe. She kept looking nervously at this older dude across the room.
Then I realized I had gone into _aj_'s basement instead of mine by accident.

When I was young maybe 18 at the gym just starting out I had to bench the same weight like the guy before me lol.
After like 3 strange reps I had to roll it down over my whole body since it was too heavy.
Might have been like 200 lbs.
LOL.
I was glad no one noticed.

SAME with me (see my post above) I got lots of scrapes and bruises and broke into a real sweat- scared me straight at a young age...
NEVER benched alone again!!

LOL same.
Not bad.
Had no side-effects though apart from embarassment.

After re-racking 180kg, I had already taken a step back, but apparently the bar had some whip to it still so the plates on one side slid off.
I basically froze in disbelieve as I saw the bar tip over to one side not sure whether I should attempt to even catch it or whatever.
This was also on a monday morning when there're only a bunch of old people in the gym... This one grandma in particular gave me the deathstare, or it was simply her post-stroke face.
-
Smashed my dick between two 100lb Dumbbells while doing lateral raises then having an ugly ass nurse insert the catheter.
-
The cable snapped on a lat pulldown and the bar came crashing into my forehead. I was a bloody mess and needed 7 stitches. I probably could have sued the gym but the owner was cool and gave me a free year on my membership.

hell no :o
I cant think of many for me. I got stuck below the legpress once, almost got stuck at the incline bench press, hit my face while curling a dumbell up...

This happened to a friend of mine in Golds Venice years ago. I remember thinking a free year was cheap for the owner to get off. This friend was using the entire 300 lb stack. I'd assume you were also.

1) Loaded too much weight (uncollared) on a EZ curl bar and the tipping began and the weights weight off one side and then the other.
2) Was working calves on the leg press doing toe presses. Normally I keep the safety locks in place while doing this, but on this day I unlocked them and forgot and when I finished the set the entire leg press squashed me. Had to cry out for help.
3) Got buried on a heavy bench on smith. Fortunately locked it but had to wiggle out all stupid in front of everyone.
4) Was on a stationary bike doing some cardio. I sat the seat up a little higher than usual and didn't realize I didn't fully lock it in place. 10 minutes in I suddenly fall 8 inches with a loud BANG.
Not my best days in the gym.

I was doing squats in my friend's gym. It was a giant shed in the back yard. Some of the equipment was starting to rust. I had 315lbs for squats. I took the weight off the squat racks and all of the plates on one side slide off. Then the other whipping the bar off me. Sounded like a bomb went off. I stood there in shock thinking I broke every bone in my body. I was completely okay. I didn't know he oiled the ends of the bar to prevent rust.
On a somewhat related story I saw a guy I work with and he had a cast on his foot. Thought he was a bit of a scum bag. I asked him what happened and he said he dropped a dumbbell on his foot.
-
Once i farted out loud. It was very embarassing. One of the girls who heard it later became my girlfriend, witch now, looking back 15 years ago, looks strange as hell. She didn't enjoyed anything ass related though.
Once i was bench pressing alone and the bar stuck on my chest. Nobody heard my shouts of help due to the loud music, so i dragged it through my abs until i could sit and deadlift it.
-
Not by me, but there was one guy who loaded up the the bench to 145lbs after barely able to get one press with 85lbs total on it. I watched since I knew it would be interesting. It quickly dropped down to his shoulders/neck area and he could not get it up despite major straining and squirming. Someone eventually helped him and later on the manager found a chunk of poop directly under that bench.

Love the smith! Love free weights too!

You could have sued him, buy his gym then make him your janitor.

Joe Meeko was reported to have pissed on the sauna rocks at the gym, I think it was called City Limits gym. Said to have cleared the whole place out.
-
Was benching 275 on the second rep the bar rolled back and dropped it. It landed between the bottom of my pecs and the top of my ribs. It knocked the wind out of me and bruised the shit out of me. Luckily it didn't break or crack anything or land on my neck.

Got busted listening to Whitney Houston - it was awkward because it was an old black guy.
-
Was bench pressing 150 in my basement when I was 17. I got a few reps with it, but then got stuck and had to roll it down my body until I could sit up.
After finishing a set of DB flyes, I was putting the weight down on the floor and pinched my middle finger in between the dumbbell handle and the bench support that was bolted to the floor. It hurt like fucking hell and I eventually lost the nail.

Attention fellow getbigger. You have been selected for the Howard Gym Farting Hall of Fame.

is white people listening to the music of a black singer frowned upon these days? Fucks sake the nigs will bitch about anything
-
Probably that time I showed up, thought, 'everything always f'n hurts, can't do a single movement without constant pain, so fuck this place' and never went back. Pretty high on my gym fail list, yeah.
-
please go on ...
Not much else to say. Brought the DB's in too close to my junk and smashed it. Went into shock, went to the hospital and woke up to nurse ratchet.

Getting a double inguinal hernia.
-
Strained all the muscles in the back of my neck when leg pressing. Took a week from them to heal and every time I tensed it was agony. Taking a dump became my least favourite activity!

English is not my first language, give me some slack.

Was unloading bench press bar with 185 on it. I was gawking at a girl, and pulled off the 45lb plate not realizing the 25lb was in front of it. It fell straight down onto my foot. I thought for sure I broke it, it hurt so bad, had to go sit down in the locker room because the pain was so intense, lol. I got it checked out, but it was not broke. Was wearing flimsy ass Chuck Taylor's too. I pay more careful attention nowadays. ;D
-
Doing cardio on the exercise bike when the seat suddenly dropped about 12". I didn't have my hands on the bars at the time, as I was fiddling with my iPod, so I ended up falling sideways off the bike right into another sweaty dude on the bike beside me.

Yeah it definitely is - it's not like it was trap music, Whitney is classic. :-\

Back in the spring of 1991 I was leg pressing on a machine i wasnt too familiar with. I was 17 at the time and i was probably going a little heavier than normal and as i was racking the weight i must have missed the hooks bc it came crashinig down on my foot and got it stuck! Some dudes helped me out and i limped out of the gym and went to ER. Had a broken bone.

A brand new high end executive gym opened. It was on the 24th floor of a MetLife building. My buddy and I got some free day passes so we went to check it out early in the day. Gym was brand new, new equipment, still smell the fresh paint and carpet. In the back corner was the bench. My buddy and I proceed to do bench. We went up to 3 plates a side. We finish our sets and go to unrack, I take off one plate, walk over to the weight stack and put it away, my lazy friend just slides the first plate off and throws it on the floor so I'm like 10 feet away coming back to grab the next plate and he's already taken 2 off his side and proceeds with the last plate, so now there's two plates on my side and none on his. As the he slides the last plate off the end, like a slingshot the bar flips up and does a 180 turn and rips right into the drywall creating a three foot hole in the brand new wall. I'm just standing there stunned. We look at each other and just bee line it straight out of the gym. Never looked back, never went back. Haha.
